Jamaica

Welcome home Brody. Brody recently returned from Jamaica, where he was gone for 11 days. I know jealous, huh? He did a dental service mission with some other students from Ohio State. He had an awesome experience and help a lot of people who otherwise would not have been able to receive dental care. We missed him like crazy (as you can tell from the sign). We are so glad to have him back home. Here are some highlights from his trip.

Here is Brody's 1st patient he worked on. This is the before and after shot.


They stayed on a nice Sandals Resort while in Jamaica. Here are some pictures from there.


Although they did stay on a resort that was nice, Jamaica is a very impoverished country. Brody worked in what most of us would call a shack. They used a generator so they had power for their dental tools. Every morning they had people lined up out the door trying to get in for dental treatment. Here are some pictures of where he was working, the preschool they went to where they helped teach the children about dental hygiene, and other locations around the town.

Lewis went to South America and all he did was pull teeth for the entire time he was there in the way of dental care. They did a service project one year as well.
He LOVES doing this type of stuff-helping out underprivileged people.
I am so glad Brody got to do this!
